Correct.
You need to read my post again. I put the old Saucy Salamander disk in and booted and installed, thus allowing the installer wipe the drive and install everything fresh, making its own partition (which, once again, did not wipe off the sda5 partition, the partition that I did not in fact create. I have no idea where that came from. As far as I could see, when I partitioned, there was sda1, sda2, and sda3. The installation did the rest.). I realize it is not necessary to create my own partitions and make things difficult. But I want my hard drive set up a certain way, and in order to get that job done one needs to create partitions. I've been doing it for well over a year with my other Linux distros on various machines and never had any problems until I tried Trisquel the other day. I'm confident I will get all this stuff fixed up and master it all in due time.
